Kicking off this showcase with @hypothes_is – this #opensource project has evolved out of years of work undertaken in conjunction with the @w3c Web Annotation WG, and is nowadays featured in a variety of #openpublishing & #openeducation projects. #socialannotation

2/20

On a 🛠 technical level, a provision of plugins helps with the integration of hypothes.is functionality in a variety of platforms such as @WordPress, @omeka, or @pkp's Open Monograph System - platforms that are also used for #OAbook publishing

3/20

The platform-agnostic nature of @hypothes_is makes the tool a versatile candidate for implementation in 3rd-party environments such as the HIRMEOS Annotation service for books developed in conjunction with Open Edition (@OpenEditionActu).

@fulcrumpub – developed at @M_Publishing – also uses @hypothes_is to experiment with #socialannotation. A Fulcrum/hypothes.is test run has been launched in collaboration with @Lever_Press – a list of annotation-enabled #OAbooks can be found here 📚

And @pressbooks leverages the powerful @hypothes.is #WordPress plugin to facilitate easy annotation of their bespoke WordPress book publishing environment, boasting a wealth of reusable #OAbooks and #OER #textbooks.

Originally developed by the Institute for the Future of the Book (If:book), CommentPress (@cpcore) is a WordPress plugin introducing an annotation layer to the versatile blogging platform while also enhancing WP with regards to #accessibility #a11y

A variety of researchers have done fascinating work with CommentPress over the past 15 years. Take, for example, @mckenziewark who used an early instantiation to realise her seminal book GAMER THEORY 2.0 in online form.

8/20

Back in 2011, @DoughertyJack and @kdnawrotzki used @cpcore to facilitate multiple rounds of #openpeerreview of their edited collection Writing History in the Digital Age (published in 2013 with #digitalculturebooks, a @UofMPress imprint)

@kfitz used CommentPress to invite #peerreview feedback on her book Planned Obsolescence (2011) via If:book's @mediacommons platform, and her recent book Generous Thinking (2019) is available via a @cpcore setup hosted with @hcommons

@jmittell has used @mediacommons to solicit feedback on Complex TV, which had been made publicly available for ~2 years prior to publication with @NYUpress. Add'l material has been made available via @anvcscalar (more on Scalar in next week's 🧵).

We also take the opportunity to highlight specialist annotation tools and platforms that are used e.g. by linguists and historians. Take e.g. Recogito, developed by the @PelagiosNetwork, which has been awarded the 2019 Open Publishing Award. 🏆

12/20

Recogito originally focused on geographic annotation of maps, and has since evolved into a powerful interactive annotation tool for text and image documents (including support of @iiif_io standard).

13/20

Looking back at more than a decade of development at @unihh and @TUDarmstadt, @fortext_catma CATMA, short for "Computer Assisted Text Markup and Analysis", supports specialist semantic annotation of text.

14/20

catma.de

@fortext_catma is e.g. being used for linguistic corpus analyses, supports export of its annotation collections to @TEIconsortium-conformant XML, and relies on a git-based backend and workflow.

Annotation Studio, hosted and developed at @MIThyperstudio, now @activearchives and part of @MIT_SHASS, is a set of annotation tools designed to foster the development of skills such as close reading and textual analysis.

They write: "by enabling users to tag texts using folksonomies rather than TEI, Annotation Studio allows students to [discover] how literary texts can be opened up through exploration of sources, influences, editions, and adaptations."

To conclude this week's 🧵, there are lots of fascinating #opensource tools out there that help facilitate #annotation of #OAbooks in multiple ways. As part of our report, we also have prepared a handy comparative spreadsheet that you can find at

Stay tuned and join us again next week when we take a closer look at #authors and #communities that use #opensource platforms to collaboratively develop and publish interactive long-form scholarship #OAbooks
